Full Description

In What Excellent Community Colleges Do, Joshua S. Wyner draws on the insights and evidence gained in administering the inaugural Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. The book identifies four domains of excellence - degree completion, equity, student learning, and labour market success - and describes in rich detail the policies and practises that have allowed some community colleges to succeed in these domains. By starting with a holistic definition of excellence, measuring success against that definition, and then identifying practises and policies that align with high levels of student success, the author seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge about improving student success in community colleges.
